Machine
Automation
We develop control panels and automation software for food production machines, conveying and transfer lines, and industrial process equipment. Alongside new machine projects, we modernize the panels and software of existing machines.
Hygienic lid
machine automation
Developed in 2023 for an iced coffee brand, this machine applies aluminum hygienic lids to beverage cans. Servo motion and PID-controlled heating elements are managed within the same production cycle.
- Precise motion control with a servo motor
- Heating element temperature management using a PID algorithm
- Coordination of motion and heating steps
Cooling tunnel
control software
We developed the automation software for a cooling tunnel exported to Colombia. Synchronized acceleration and deceleration of four conveyors are managed together with compressor and blower operation.
- Coordinated conveyor speed adjustment
- Compressor and blower operation control
- Temperature algorithms for product cooling
Foundry sand
reclamation system
We redesigned the panel layout and software of a German-made foundry sand reclamation system. The control system manages metal separation, transfer to the crusher and routing to the sand conveyor.
- Control of metal separation using a magnetic drum
- Management of crusher and sand conveying stages
- Modernization of the existing panel layout and software
- Equipment and process monitoring through the HMI
Machine control and software development
The control functions used in our reference projects are configured around each machine’s operating sequence, equipment and process requirements.
Control panels and PLC software
Control panels and PLC software are designed to match the machine’s equipment configuration. Existing machines can be upgraded through panel modifications and software redevelopment.
HMI operator screens
We develop operator interfaces for monitoring machine status, adjusting operating parameters and managing process steps.
Motor and drive control
Conveyor speeds, motor operating sequences and synchronized motion are managed through drives. Our chocolate enrobing project uses Profinet for drive communication.
Servo motion control
For repetitive production cycles, such as hygienic lid application, servo movements are coordinated with the machine’s other operating steps.
Temperature and process control
PID- and SSR-based heating, compressor and blower control, pasteurization and cooling stages are programmed to match the application’s process conditions.
Weighing and transfer management
Our chocolate storage and transfer project combines weight-based transfer using load cell data, tanker filling and tank temperature management in a single system.
Machine and process projects
Examples of machine automation, process control and modernization from our completed projects. Click the images to enlarge them.
Chocolate Enrobing Machine
Motors are controlled by drives on a line where wafers travel on wire-mesh conveyors through a chocolate curtain. The project specifies temperature control precision of 0.1 °C using PID and SSR; drives communicate via Profinet.
Beverage Can Hygienic Lid Machine
This machine applies aluminum hygienic lids to six cans in a single cycle using a servo motor and PID-controlled heating elements. Motion and heating steps are coordinated.
Cooling Tunnel
Compressors and blowers are managed by temperature algorithms in a cooling tunnel with four synchronized conveyors. We developed the software for this machine, which was exported to Colombia.
Chocolate Storage and Transfer
Two large storage tanks produced for Nestlé combine tanker filling, holding chocolate at the specified temperature and weight-based transfer using load cells in a single system.
Palletizing Machine
A long-idle palletizing machine at BGC Tarım was modernized. Dried tomato products in glass jars are grouped in a 14 × 20 arrangement and transferred onto pallets using a magnetic handling mechanism.
Pasteurization Tunnel
In the tunnel modernized for BGC Tarım, products pass through an 80 °C steam tunnel on a drive-controlled conveyor. The project included a new control panel and automation software.
Milk Pasteurization System
The system manages raw milk heating, pasteurization and subsequent cooling to 5 °C before transfer to a holding tank. CIP cleaning is performed after each batch; temperature, flow and conductivity sensors control the process.
Foundry Sand Reclamation System
The system controls sand passage through a magnetic drum, metal separation and transfer to the crusher and sand conveyor. The existing panel layout and software were redesigned.
Application-specific project scope
Automation for new machines
The control panel, PLC software and HMI interface are designed around the machine’s operating sequence and equipment configuration. Drive, servo, temperature and weighing functions are combined according to application requirements.
Upgrading existing machines
The existing panel and software are assessed to define the scope of the upgrade. Our palletizing, pasteurization tunnel and sand reclamation projects are examples of this work.
